About this title

From the Publisher:

Designed to help you create and implement courses that will achieve your teaching objectives, Making Instruction Work is a must for anyone in the business of teaching others. This practical book outlines numerous techniques and procedures you can apply immediately to make your instruction more lean, on target, motivating, and effective.

From the Author:

The purpose of this book is to describe and illustrate the key components of the instructional craft. But just as there are far more words in the English language than you will ever need or use, there is far more to know about the craft of instruction that you can, or need to, put to practical use. Therefore, this book focuses only on those practical pieces -- the pieces that, when applied, will maximize the effectiveness and efficiency of your instructional efforts.
